Get two more minimum. I'd recommend eight total so you can really cover the plant with light.

I used to have 3 75watt florescents. Actual 75watters. Should I just keep those in their?

The four flo's should do the job for flowering but dont use daylight balanced. Daylight balanced is best for veg'ing and something around 2500k-3500k is best for flowering. Also i'm sure you already know, but using fluorescents to flower will yield less and it wont be very compact.

so then aside from florescents how about any other bulbs? My hps system isn't going to come in till about 3weeks

Well your only real choices are fluorescents, metal haildes, and hps. As far as bulbs any warm white (2700k) bulb will do man. Your plants need something like 50w per square foot, so depending on the area of your grow room, 4 42w cfl (600w equiv) should be good until you get your hps hooked up.

your older 75w actual fluorescents would work better.
